Hi! my name is Kristie and I am a Ph.D. student in Montana.  Taking time 
off will do you no harm when it comes to applying to grad school.  I took 
a year in between each of my degrees, and not only for the money!  You 
need time away from the academic world to get excited enough about it to 
even accomplish a Masters degree.  If I had gone straight through - burn 
out city!

Bye.
